Drugs known as controllers are used to prevent Asthma attacks. These include Inhaled steroids, which can help reduce Inflammation and Swelling and prevent your baby from wheezing. You would give your baby daily Inhaled steroid medicine using either an MDI or a Nebulizer, depending on the Steroid prescribed by his doctor.
If your baby's Asthma proves difficult to control, his doctor may refer him to an Asthma specialist.
You'll want to make sure that any sitters or daycare providers responsible for your baby's care are familiar with his condition and know how to treat an Asthma attack.

What should I do if the rash doesn't get better?
Talk with your baby's doctor or a pediatric Dermatologist. If the rash doesn't get better after following the suggestions above, your doctor might suggest trying mild topical Steroids, which can be bought over the counter.
If the over-the-counter variety doesn't do the trick, your child's doctor may prescribe a stronger Steroid. A Steroid cream or Ointment sometimes works wonders to help break a stubborn cycle of Eczema. A short course of oral Steroid medication can sometimes help get Eczema under enough control that the other methods you try will work more effectively.
Researchers are developing new drugs to help Eczema sufferers, so if your baby continues to struggle with the condition, ask her doctor to keep you up-to-date on Remedies that are appropriate for your baby.
Be sure to give the doctor a call if your baby develops a Feveror other signs that she may have an infection (the area is warm to the Touch or Oozing, for example).

Surgery may damage normal Brain Tissue, and edema may occur. Seizures, Weakness, Coordination Problems, personality changes and difficulty in speaking or thinking may result. Most side effects of Surgery lessen or disappear with time.
Radiation may cause fatigue and hair loss, which may be temporary or permanent. Skin reaction in the treated area is common. The scalp and ears may be red, itchy or dark; these areas may feel and look sunburned. Patients should not use lotions without doctor advice. Sometimes Radiation may cause Headache, Memory Loss or Seizures because the brain cells killed by Radiation may form a mass that causes pressure. Doctors may suggest Surgery or Steroids to relieve these problems. Patients may have fatigue and lose their appetite four to eight weeks after Radiation; this may last for several weeks, but it will usually go away. Children who have Radiation treatments may have learning problems and partial loss of eyesight, or they may not grow or develop normally.
Chemotherapy side effects depend on the drugs used. Patients may experience lower resistance to infection, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, mouth sores, less energy and hair loss. These side effects usually go away after treatment. Some Chemotherapy causes sterility. Some Chemotherapy can cause kidney damage, so patients may be given large amounts of fluid while taking these drugs. Patients may also have tingling in fingers, ringing in ears or difficulty hearing. These problems may not clear up after treatment.
Steroids reduce swelling in the brain and may cause increased appetite, weight gain or swelling of the face and feet. Steroids can also cause Restlessness, Mood Swings, Burning Indigestion, acne and elevated glucose. The Steroid Treatment must be gradually stopped so the body can adjust.
